Hey there all. I just wanted to say hello to everyone here, my girlfriend got me an early birthday present, a frame to a Ninja for me to build up. I've rebuilt cars and helped a friend restore a 86 Suzuki GSX-R 750cc. She knew I wanted to do this and today I got a big old package from Fed-Ex. *BEEMS* I'll be asking a lot of questions, and also doing my best to be as good of a member as possible. Take care and best of luck to everyone, and keep the rubber side down!

welcome to KF

 

Ahh there fixed my signature!

 

I had an old '86 GXXR 750. That was a great ride several years ago. Primitive by today's standards, but cool back then.
Welcome to KF. Some sharp folks on this site who I'm sure will be glad to help you with the project. (Personally, I prefer the "bike in a box" rides. It saves you tearing apart a perfectly good bike to modify it; build it the way you want it the first time!)
Welcome!

 

Hey there I plan on leaning on the sharp people when I need them, I've also bought the service manual, and I do plan on doing this right the 1st time, nothing but top shelf parts for me. Also it's not so much the riding I'm looking forward to as the building, it's a way to get away from my desk @ work and do something I really enjoy.

 

Welcome, that sounds awesone. What the parts list so far?

 

Welcome to the forums, I think your build up calls for a periodic photo update. Can't wait to see the progress.

 

So far 1 frame, a copy of Dennis kirk catalog, a $200 gift cert to the local Kawasaki dealer, and a sh-t eating grin on my face!!! Also don't worry deej, I'm a compulsive photo-bug, so expect to be drowning in pictures. I also have an "assistant" he's helpful, knows which tools is which, but his bedtime is a little early, he demands a story everynight, and I love him more than I could love anyone else, save the girlfriend.

 

"Hey there I plan on leaning on the sharp people when I need them..."

you shouldn't do that.. they can cut ya! [8D]
